Fig. 3 — Serial changes in consolidative lung lesions in an 80-year-old female with Mycobacterium abscessus complex lung disease (MABC-LD) in the treatment failure group (without microbiological conversion). a Initial CT (section thickness, 5 mm, axial plane) showed no lung abnormalities in the left lower lobe. For the consolidation extension scoring in this patient, involvement of all segments of the entire right lung (not shown) earned 9 points, with no involvement in the left lung. This totals 9 points. Therefore, the final consolidation extension score is 3. b The follow-up scan revealed new multifocal, patchy consolidation in the left lower lobe. For the consolidation extension scoring in this image, involvement of one segment of the right upper lobe and all segments of the right middle and lower lobes (not shown) earned 7 points. Involvement of one subsegment of apicoposterior segment of the left upper lobe (LUL) earned 1 point, and involvement of one subsegment of inferior segment of the lingula LUL (not shown) earned 1 point. Additionally, involvement of all segments of the left lower lobes earned 3 points. This totals 12 points. Therefore, the final consolidation extension score is 3
